Chelsea District Library (CDL) recently announced the return of Music in the Air.
This annual event brings the beauty of classical music out of the concert hall and into the lovely CDL Reading Garden. No longer restricted by expensive ticket costs, formal attire, and the need to sit perfectly still, this concert has become a beloved library tradition by guests of all ages each June. This year CDL is thrilled to welcome Jacopo and Maddalena Giacopuzzi to perform together on June 3 at 3 p.m.
The Giacopuzzi siblings have performed concerts for the CDL audience separately since 2017, and together virtually during the pandemic. Born in Italy to a family of pianists, both took an interest in music from an early age; when Jacopo became serious about the piano, younger sibling Maddalena was soon to follow. While their style and application are different, their continued love of music and astonishing talent are shared. Both Jacopo and Maddalena Giacoppuzi gained recognition in several national and international competitions and have performed as soloists and chamber musicians in multiple major international music festivals.
Join us to explore Italian classical music as experienced through tone poems, opera, and dance pieces performed both individually and together by the Giacopuzzis. The concert will include works from composers Camille Saint-Saëns, Ottorino Respighi, Franz Liszt, Leo Smit, and Alexander Borodin.
